We can all make a change. Together, we’re a union that can work to make things better, on campus and beyond. UCL is yours, so it should be what you want it to be. We’re led by students. That means you’re in charge.

We’re here to make you feel at home. All of our spaces are your spaces. We’re transforming our bars, cafes, fitness and study areas to create the places to make friends and relax. And as a not-for-profit charity, we put anything we earn into making the union better for you.

Driven by drama, sport, art or politics? Students’ Union UCL offers all sorts of ways to discover something that will become a part of who you are. Get up on stage. Be creative. Lead a movement. Push yourself further than you imagined.

University is a big, exciting place. But life isn’t always easy. We’re here to give you support when you need us, care about the things you care about, and fight for you when need someone in your corner. Our job is to make sure you feel supported every day.

LGBT+ Students’ Network

Our network supports lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex and/or asexual students during their time at university. It also helps students interested in LGBT+ issues to meet like-minded people and groups in the university and across London.

The LGBT+ Officer, Xuyi Wang, is a part time officer, which means they are continuing their studies while also heading up the LGBT+ Network.

What is the LGBT+ Students’ Network?
The LGBT+ Students’ Network is here to support you in your study and work, to provide you with social activities, as well as to campaign on your behalf and raise awareness of your issues.

The aims of the Network are:

to provide social and welfare support to LGBT+ students;

to campaign and raise awareness of LGBT+ issues, both on campus and outside of it;

to represent LGBT+ students on the Union Council.

The network enables you to meet like-minded people within UCL and across London. We work closely with other LGBT+ networks, societies and charities, putting on joint social events and joint campaigns, and providing volunteering opportunities. In the past, our events have included parties, club nights, coffee socials, book groups, panel debates, talks, film screenings, trips to cinemas and museums, guided walks, quizzes and charity fundraisers.

We operate under the umbrella term LGBT+ Students’ Network, and are open to people who self-define as being one or more of: lesbian, gay, bi, trans*, and/or any other sexual or gender minority including but not limited to queer, intersex and asexual.

How is it run?
The LGBT+ Students’ Network has one elected officer, who is voted for by all LGBT+ UCL students on an annual basis. All decisions are made democratically, and any LGBT+ student is invited to suggest and plan events or to give input on the direction of the Forum.

We have a committee which aims to represent the student body. Why not consider putting yourself forward for a position in 2018/19? Click on a role below to see a description of what it involves:
